Just got rid of the DRL's once and for all (and properly this time). Thx again for the help Mulder!

As for proper chassis/battery grounds, I was told by a respected ex-wrx owner in our club (his experience was probably based on Catz HID in EDM STi projectors - his setup at the time) to not ground the ballast if it was composed of metal...
